Abstract
Introduction. The high incidence of cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, impairment of breathing, speech, and swallowing functions accompanied by prolonged and often persistent disability put the rehabilitation and the quality of life of patients among the most important social problems.Material and methods. We have gained experience in reconstructing the pharynx and esophagus with various fragments of the gastrointestinal tract in 121 cancer patients. Based on our own clinical experience, the most important criteria of selecting patients after laryngectomy for reconstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract with visceral flaps were identified. Visceral autografts formed from different parts of the patient’s gastrointestinal tract were full-layer fragments of the abdominal organs, which included the mucous membrane of the stomach, small intestine, or large intestine. In some patients, the choice of flap was limited by a large omentum.Results. In 9.9 % of cases, flap necrosis was observed. Oral nutrition was restored in 93.9 % of patients. In 90.5 % of cases, speech function was restored after the installation of avoice prosthesis. The method of autologous transplantation of the ileo-colonic flap made it possible not only to remove the organs affected by the tumor, but also to simultaneously restore the lost nutrition and vocal functions without resorting to artificial prostheses, but using only their own tissues. The 5-year survival rates were 36.4 % and 67.3 % in patients with simultaneous reconstruction and in patients with delayed reconstruction, respectively.Conclusion. The use of visceral flaps in the reconstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract allows patients to restore both the nutrition and voice functions after laryngectomy.
